Welcome Lucy

Welcome to Lucy our newest resident in Ballarat East… She is a strong sentinel looking out over all of her domain, her wild orange dress does not move with the wind, yet her eyes will follow all those who move through her field of vision.

‘Lucy’ by Mark Schaller (2004) is a large wooden chainsaw created sculpture that has just alighted (well she at 750kgms it was a feat) in the East.

“Put your shoes on Lucy / Don’t you know you’re in the city / Put your shoes on Lucy, it’s really such a pity / That Lucy can’t go barefoot wherever she goes / ‘Cos she loves to feel the wriggle of her toes.”
And here she can go barefoot!
